Trading Places: April 28th, 2009

I think it’s Tuesday, right?It’s been a pretty busy couple of days for me.Well, busier than I have been.I’m glad to be mobile because one,if I keep moving I keep burning calories,and two, I don’t think about eating (extra) when I’m busy.I felt pretty good today, not too much soreness, no crankiness (I think EVERYONE appreciated that!) and no outstanding food cravings.Cardio was hard to do today.I didn’t have time in the morning or early afternoon to get it in, so I had to get to it after my last client at 6pm.It could have been VERY easy to slip out of there and not do it, but I knew that I wasn’t scheduled to eat for a while, and if I wasn’t doing cardio, I would be doing something sedentary.AND since I train with Matt in the morning, I would have to explain why I didn’t do cardio today.I’m generally REALLY good at loopholes and reasoning and I can talk my way out of a lot; however, being that Matt was there when I was complaining about not wanting to do cardio, I knew it was a losing battle.SO Yes, Matt, I did do it, all 30 minutes on the elliptical and I had MANY witnesses!

My diet is continuing to go really well.A bonus for me, Matt gave me a freebie food!I get to eat all the red, orange, yellow, and green peppers I want!Too bad they are 2 bucks A PIECE at Dierbergs because I could eat 4 or 5 a day, easily.The positive side is that they are going to be in season soon so they should be cheaper at a farmers’ market (by the way, anyone who knows of a really one, please let me know!).

I meet with Pirtle bright and early (for me) at 9am.I’m not sure how well this is going to go, because the last time I attempted to work out first thing in the morning, I nearly lost my breakfast, sad but true.I’m hoping for the best so I’m going to do a little reading tonight then its early bedtime for myself.Workout #2 is in T-minus 13 hours…
